Exam questions on Compound and double angle formulae

  1. Angles AA and BB are acute, with sin⁡A=35\sin A=\frac{3}{5} and cos⁡B=513\cos B=\frac{5}{13}.
    Find the exact value of tan⁡(A+B)\tan(A+B).2 marks
  2. The angle xx is acute and tan⁡x=34\tan x=\frac{3}{4}.
    Hence find the exact value of cos⁡4x\cos4x.2 marks
  3. Consider the equation cos⁡2θ+3sin⁡θ=2\cos2\theta+3\sin\theta=2, where 0≤θ<360∘0\le\theta<360^\circ.
    Show that the equation can be written as 2sin⁡2θ−3sin⁡θ+1=02\sin^2\theta-3\sin\theta+1=0.3 marks
